It's a real controversial issue and I can imagine that some one would be severley affected by such an ordeal , and I could understand some one's judgement being affected to the extent that they'd want to abort a baby if that traumatic event was linked to the birth.

But at the end of the day you still have to deal with it and keep on living , that's what humans do , that's how we've been able to survive for god knows how long. If you decide to abort a baby the intent to murder may not be the same as putting the trigger to the babies head and pulling it but the end effect is still the same.

Murder is still murder regardless of circumstance and like i've said before the only situatiion i could imagine take a life being justifiable is when yours or anothers is in jepordy.

its never a waste to hope for someone else

Hope for what? That they'll come around to your way of thinking?

A bit narcissistic, don't you think?

Yeah... maybe those millions of couples waiting to adopt children shouldn't be such huge dicks demanding a new model?

ANTI. Abortion is a smear upon the morality of people and the sanctity of human life.

Their are more than 50 million children who have to live a horrible life adopt them.

You are asking me not to try to force people to...refrain from murdering their own child.  I am sure when I put it that way you can understand that I would advocate just that, stopping as many murders as possible, just as with any other life.

You're thinking way too much in black and white. You can't guarantee that a woman that accidently has a child will end up neglectful as a mother. Also you broadly assume that everyone would rather be dead than have shitty parents. I myself would rather enjoy the remainder of my life and just deal with the bad parenting when I was growing up. I wouldn't welcome my own death for something so arbitrary.

Well I would be hugely amazed if anything could possibly be aware without any brain waves. So yeah, I do know how aware they are at least up to that point - they're not. Awareness by definition requires perception of an event and cognitive reaction to it, that is not possible in a thing without a working brain.

That may be the case. 

But still, if the mother decides to have the child and put it up for adoption, it's almost guaranteed to actually be adopted (unless it has some obvious handicap - sad, but that's usually how it works).   Older children who are not being adopted are usually those taken from their parents via social services, or those whose parents abandoned them, or whose parents died.

As far as abortion is concerned, adoption is a viable alternative.
